1974 Mustang Parts

With an oil embargo looming, and new federal emissions standards being implemented, Ford's designers went back to the drawing board with the Mustang, resulting in most of the 1974 Ford Mustang parts being redesigned. In fact, the new 1974 Mustang parts combined to shorten the car by 19 inches and made it lighter by 490 pounds. The car's platform was based on the smaller Pinto and the new 74 Mustang parts utilized many aspects of European automotive design, resulting in much greater refinement and more cutting edge technology.
